High court declines to stop Ohio execution Tuesday

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to stop the execution of a death row inmate who strangled an elderly neighbor in 1994 and who last week tried to kill himself by overdosing on pills.



Lawrence Reynolds Jr., 43, had asked the high court for a delay while he challenged Ohio's lethal injection procedure. The court refused without comment to intervene in Tuesday's execution.



Reynolds was convicted of killing Loretta Foster, a 67-year-old widow who baby-sat kids in her neighborhood and lived three doors from him in Cuyahoga Falls near Akron.



Prosecutors said Reynolds was an alcoholic who was out of work and needed money to buy booze. He forced his way into Foster's house, strangled her with rope and left with $40 in cash and a blank check from her purse.



This is Ohio's third attempt to execute him.
